Abu Usamah At-Thahabi – Xmas Gathering vs Gathering on Xmas

			So does it do those gatherings? Okay, because we're not gathering for, for the sake of Christmas,
we'll take an opportunity of everyone being off on the holidays. Yeah, that's a good question.
That's why I made a distinction if you get invited, and they're going to celebrate the celebration,
and they're going to show and manifest disbelief and disobedience. You don't go. But if they invite
you on that day, because it's the day we're all gonna get together, and we're all off of work for
		

			you. You can go to those places will be NEMA for b&m a go, no problem. Your job has a Christmas
dinner, Christmas lunch. They're not telling you to do anything about Santa Claus. And it just just
come you go, no problem. Don't make yourself the odd man out. Don't make yourself that Muslim who,
you know, you're always trying to be strange and weird, causing people to look at you. And that's
why we have to set the balance. Don't be the guy who is rough and tough, anti sociable. And don't be
		

			the person who's going to jump in the water. And you say when in Rome. do as the Romans do know. You
have to be better than that. So there's nothing wrong with that here at Greenlee Masjid another
masajid around the globe in the West. Don't we have Christmas conferences? Yeah, so some people like
why you call it Christmas god, okay, no problem. No problem. Lima Sha. Allah has no problem. Let's
call it the winter conference. No problem. But we're taking off and we take advantage of it because
		

			we the Christmas holidays, does it is not anything to do with us in the mullah Madhubani yet. Our
Nia is we're coming together to visit our relatives to show love and to be with them. There's
nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. So what are we going to do? Our job gives us a few
days off for Christmas the holidays and we're going to say no, I want to work these days and you
better open up the door and don't give me a Christmas bonus. You want to say that? I was gonna say
		

			that. It was gonna say that as the motor shed did the motor shed did that guy who is very difficult
to exist with him. Now I'm all for drawing a line in the sand locum Dino can will your dean to use
your way into my my Wait, but you have to know how and when to do that. Definitely, definitely.
